Super Mario Odyssey thread of real 3D Mario is back.

[Wrath2X]

WHEW.

Also good music is back, none of that "bah, bah" shit.

[Great Rumbler]

The Wii U/3DS Marios were pretty solid, but just felt like a real step back from the greatness of Galaxy. Odyssey, on the other hand, looks absolutely incredible, definitely the kind of game that would induce me to buy a console even in the absence of anything else to play.

Cultural Appropriation Hat Mario is best Mario

[TakingBackSunday]

I'm not entirely sold on its style. It's a little too Sonic Adventure to me.  Also, Mario looks super slippery to control.

I'm excited though.  3D Marios are the best

[Tasty]

Yeah the amount of "This looks like Sonic" in the E3 thread here alone was baffling. It's like, one world, and none of the gameplay matches up at all. There will also be 8000% less jank in Odyssey than SA.

[etiolate]

This game looks crazy in all the right ways.

[Joe Molotov]

Even though 3D Land & World were fun, they never felt like full-fledged 3D Mario games. This does. That inverted pyramid level looks hella good.

[Great Rumbler]

I'm not entirely sold on its style. It's a little too Sonic Adventure to me. 

It's not like Sonic Adventure at all. The only reason people think that is the somewhat realistic human NPC's in one zone. It helps that Mario is using it as a fun, weird zone and not the JRPG to be taken seriously shit in SA.

The issues with SA were:

-Really sucky controls, even for the time [Odyssey looks like it controls just fine]
-Throwing in lots of new characters that no one cared about [So far Odyssey has shown us Mario, Peach, Bowser, and a hat]
-Most of the "highlight reel" sections were essentially on-rails [I highly doubt this will be an issue with Odyssey]
-Starting to focus too much on story [Again, don't see this being an issue with Odyssey]

So, yeah, I'm not seeing the comparisons to Sonic Adventure at all, really.

[Joe Molotov]

Until we see footage of Mario fighting an FF final boss, I wouldn't call it a Sonic Adventure game.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I only ever played it for like 5 minutes but I always kind of liked the idea of Sonic Adventure

Anytime you weren't playing as Sonic in Sonic Adventure it was pretty bad.

[Positive Touch]

sonic adventure sucked ass top to bottom even at release. any other opinion is fake news.

So much fuckery going on with this game

[FStop7]

Lost my shit at the trailer for this. 

Is Mario even real?  Or is he just some kind of hollow, fleshy decoy that the hat uses to disguise its true nature?  Is this a Venom+black costume symbiote thing? Or more like Brainiac taking over Lex Luthor?



If this is a "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" situation and Pauline is involved then does this mean Donkey Kong has been secretly pulling the strings for nearly 40 years?  Subjecting Mario to an endless hell in the Mushroom Kingdom by covertly aiding an otherwise moronic Bowser's schemes in order to pay back Mario for interfering with DK's plans for Pauline? 

The mind reels at the implications.

[Tasty]

Looks much more engaging the Galaxy's co-op.

Man this shit looks so good, brehs.

Which, of course, never actually upsets Japanese people. Japanese people LOVE seeing foreigners in kimono, seeing us enjoy their culture. Like, 100% consistently. As usual, the people angry on the Japanese' behalf don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Yup, unlike the GAF progressive who doesn't ever go out of their basement, I actually interact with plenty of foreign nationals and a large, diverse group of people on a regular basis. And they usually love when I show any kind of interest or knowledge about their culture. I can't wait until the GAF progressive gets so far gone they'll yell at you for 'cultural appropriation' for ordering takeout Chinese

[Cerveza mas fina]

I love it too when people from other cultures use stuff from mine like electricity, nuclear energy, internet, mobile phones. Don't know why it would offend anyone. I don't think its bad people adopt these things from white culture.

[etiolate]

One day Poland will use stuff from its culture as well.

[Cerveza mas fina]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dunno why yall offended again

So sharing clothes is ok, but world views and science is offending?

We're just upset that you're trying to steal the internet from Al Gore. That isn't cool.

I can't, of course,  know your intent, but your statement was unsettlingly close to the things white supremacists say about the superiority of white culture, and how most of the world's current inventions and technological advances have been made by white men.  My geometry teacher in 10th grade actually had written that on the chalkboard as his inspirational quote, for a mixed gender and race class. Most of us didn't find it particularly inspiring.

 Personally, I stray dangerously close to that same area when I hear about Christian people wanting the advantages of science while promoting irresponsible bullshit like intelligent design and creationism.  I would be happy to let the hardliners have access to exactly as much science as is covered by their big book,  or solely limited to the province of Christian scientists.  For anything else, they can come worship at the altar of my god: science.

[bluemax]

My brother keeps calling it Mario 06, but I think he's too young to remember Sonic Adventure.

[Fifstar]

This game looks so amazing

[bork]

That 2D transition

[Fifstar]

That 2D transition

With the music transitioning to a 8Bit Remix 

[Tasty]

Galaxy 1 and especially 2 had a bunch of 2D sections and they were great. Not worried.

[Oblivion]

This game so far has a pretty mixed reaction from me.

On the one hand, the creepy, realistic humans NPCs and an opening theme with LYRICS feel so out of place for a Mario game.

On the other hand, Mario's controls and physics are a tremendous step up from the 3D games. Mario actually feels fun to just simply move around like he did with SM64, SMS, and the Galaxy titles. Mario from the 3D games felt sluggish and heavy and was a major reason why I couldn't get into those games, so it's nice to see Nintendo ditching that.

Sit on bench to get a star.

10/10 gameplay

Game truly looks anti-thetical to the appeal of Mario.

[Great Rumbler]

 

[Himu]

When I think of Mario, I definitely think of sitting on a bench and being rewarded for it.

[Himu]

Aren't moon pieces the new stars/shines?

I don't recall ever getting any star in 64 with that little effort. Even if it's bringing the baby penguin to the mom it still takes some effort. But nope. Just sit on this bench. 💩 It'd be fine if they'd show actually good platforming but they don't. Break this rock. Sit on this bench. Talk to this npc.

It looks turrible. Might have to get a cheap Wii u for my Mario fix this fall because this game looks awful in every sense of the word.

[Himu]

The worst thing about this game is that it is literally the only 3d platformer on the market now and their response? Not tight 3D Mario platforming in the vein of Galaxy but the above. If there's one thing we needed it was another sandbox game.

[Trent Dole]

I think it looks cool. But I'm Switchless at the moment and that probly ain't changing until the first price drop.

[Tasty]

How about we like, wait until it's out

Or is that too crazy an idea

[Human Snorenado]

Queen's been on a consistent "the only good games are challenging games" kick for a while now, so at least she's consistent?

[TakingBackSunday]

Nice newer video from I believe comic-con.  Looks fun.

[Himu]

Toad is cute as usual. The rest look like filler. Nintendo better give a single reason for a traditional Mario fan to get this by release. Passing on it and getting a Wii u instead at this point.

I'm making a prediction in that gamers - like usual - are blinded about this game due to hype. A - like usual - will come to find it disappointing. Game reeks of another Fallout 4 from all Nintendo has showed on it in contrast with the orgasmic reactions from the player base.

[TakingBackSunday]

well I like jumping on shit so there

[nachobro]

ya mario is usually good, even sunshine was fun. i'm not concerned

[Joe Molotov]

She's got a point, tho. Remember when everyone hyped up Breath of the Wild, then it turned out to be shit?

[Human Snorenado]

I mean damn I'm probably the biggest Nintendo hater on the forum and even I'm like "nah this looks tight"

Why not troll their actual shitty games like Animal Crossing or whatever
